Simple Bill Pay
Whether you’re a senior who is finding it increasingly hard to manage your daily finances, or you are an adult child who has noticed financial decline in your parents, IKOR of Columbus offers bill pay services. These services help seniors remain independent while minimizing the risk of falling victim to scams or incurring late payments on accounts.
Our simple bill pay services are flexible and designed to meet your needs. Your Personal Needs Coordinator can come to your home to assist you with paying bills, or handle bill payments on your behalf without disrupting your routine. Once we have paid your bills, you will be provided with a detailed accounting of the bills we have paid. We will always review your bill for accuracy and question the biller if we believe you have been incorrectly charged.

Scam artists and those who seek to exploit seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their families seem to know no bounds. Our life care managers are skilled at recognizing the tell-tale signs of financial scams and unscrupulous individuals. We will assess the situation and the risk to the individual, then offer plans to mitigate the risk.
In situations where an individual is being victimized, our team has the experience necessary to intervene and stop the victimization, and to make referrals to the professionals required to help the victim regain their path to recovery.

Return to topAssisting Executors with Estate Administration
Serving as the estate executor/administrator for a friend or family member is an enormous undertaking that requires considerable time, knowledge, and effort. When a non-attorney first agrees to serve as a loved one’s executor, we find that most don’t fully comprehend the work involved and can quickly become daunted by the responsibility they now face. IKOR can share the work by contacting utility companies to terminate services, delivering or retrieving documents from the County/City Clerk’s office, inventorying and securing estate assets, arranging and overseeing realtors and appraisers, drafting communications to heirs, and a host of other non-legal tasks.

Surveys consistently reveal that consumers often misunderstand their insurance benefits, potentially leaving money on the table or paying for medical services that their insurance should cover. IKOR of Columbus’s Personal Needs Coordinators are skilled at reviewing insurance policy coverage and explanation of benefits to ensure a beneficiary is receiving the benefits they are due.
Our Personal Needs Coordinators also understand government benefits. They can help guide you through the application process and the appeals process or recommend expert assistance should you have a complex case.
